The Opening Day of the 2010 Downtown Farmers' Market Attracts Large Crowds
Posted on: Thursday, July 08, 2010
The 2010 Downtown Farmers' Market
opened yesterday to enthusiastic patrons. The downtown market was
developed through a partnership between the Downtown BRZ, Exhibition
Park and the City of Lethbridge. This is the 5th year that the Farmers'
Market has been in downtown Lethbridge and it is definitely growing in
both size and popularity.
The market has been a welcomed
addition to the downtown experience. Business owners, employees and
residents from neighbouring areas such as London Road look forward to
the start of the Downtown Farmers' Market.
Farmers' Market
visitors were treated to top-notch live music courtesy of the Buskers
Association and the Downtown Lethbridge BRZ. The Downtown BRZ was
excited to unveil their new popcorn cart to the public.
Opening day featured 21 vendors that included; Darz
Barz Baked Goods, Tia's Chuckwagon Baked Goods, Ecuadorinkas, Elusis
Beads, JAG Jewellery, Epicure Spices and Dips, the Lighthouse Bakery,
